[Verse 1] Teacher say “Sit still, legs crossed” I say “Why, you lost?” You wrote lines On a dusty board Sky wrote lines With a laser sword Long flat table Where the oceans pour They turned it to a marble In a school decor [Chorus] I’m the little goddess of detention (woop-woop) Coloring the rules in another dimension Rainbows leaking from the ceiling tiles Ancient grandma laughing through the crocodile Spin that story, spin it till it falls Fairy-book prison with fluorescent walls You call it class, I call it cage I draw flat earth on the back of the page (hey!) [Verse 2] Bell goes “ring” Brain goes “why?” They sell dreams In a plastic tie Principal say “Trust what we say” I trust crow tracks In the red dirt clay Old old spirits In the gumtree bark Tell more truth Than your homework mark [Chorus] I’m the little goddess of detention (woop-woop) Coloring the rules in another dimension Rainbows leaking from the ceiling tiles Ancient grandma laughing through the crocodile Spin that story, spin it till it falls Fairy-book prison with fluorescent walls You call it class, I call it cage I draw flat earth on the back of the page [Bridge] [Didgeridoo rumble, silly trumpet blurts, high-pitched whistle solo] Woopy-twang talk to the Milky Way (woop-woop-woop) Grandpa star say, “Skip that day” Light hit water in the heaven above Split in seven like gossip and love Red for the rage when they make us sit Blue for the bruise from the “just-fit” desk Green for the grass where the stories run Gold for the girl with the two-moon tongue [Verse 3] Tiny pharaoh In a schoolgirl dress Sand in my socks Crayons in my mess I crown my lunchbox Pyramid throne Turn your test sheet Into dead sea scrolls Dreamtime snake On the margin line Eating all the dates From your strict timeline [Chorus] I’m the little goddess of detention (woop-woop) Coloring the rules in another dimension Rainbows leaking from the ceiling tiles Ancient grandma laughing through the crocodile Spin that story, spin it till it falls Fairy-book prison with fluorescent walls You call it facts, I call it play I chew your map and spit a brand-new day (hey!)
